What the Shortcut connector can do

Shortcut keeps product work tied to company goals through epics, stories, and docs in one workspace. A type.com Space working on planning can ask the agent to open a new epic, write a doc, or comment on existing work, keeping everyone's updates in the same thread instead of scattered across tools.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Shortcut once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Shortcut

Can Claude create epics and docs in Shortcut?

Yes. With Shortcut connected to a Space, the agent can create epics, docs, categories, and comments directly from a thread, keeping planning in sync.

How is Shortcut authenticated in type.com?

Shortcut uses an API key, added once by an admin when setting up the connection, then shared with the Spaces that need it.

Can Shortcut updates happen on a schedule?

Yes. Set up a type.com automation around a recurring Shortcut task, such as creating a weekly planning doc, and the agent runs it automatically.

Is this the same as a Shortcut MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
